question? can you get shocked from 12volt?
kids tote trailer has 12volt electric jack ,and last week in the rain, they say they got shocked when some body touched the trailer. I know nothing about electric things.

Touching 12VDC does not bother me but who knows about others. The hazard with 12VDC is getting burned when the positive side touches the negative side and you try to pull them apart...
The POST you are referring too in most cases ends up being a camp pedestal problem with the NEUTRAL LEAD creating a shock from touching the trailer frame ground while standing on Earth ground. It would have been a real big shock standing in water with bare feet. I haven't read that post yet this morning but what was posted yesterday sure needed more info from the post to determine what the cause was. It was a definite 120VAC problem not a 12VDC problem...
